Accountability in Entertainment • Page 70

“First interview since being charged with sexual abuse,” is certainly a choice. Pretty sure that interview was about 20 years ago.

 

"Were you with underage girls?"

"I beat my case."

Whelp

 

He going to jail

 

Worst thing is I've talked to two people who have considered believing him already. Unbelievable

 

I mean, on the one hand I suppose the strategy he's taking is really the only option he has. Basically trying to appeal to the rational part of people's brains, or the part that has common sense, and saying "How could anyone be so stupid to do this kind of stuff with the past that I have?" I guess his plan is to make people think "Yeah, this really is too outrageous to be true." But, like, he actually is that stupid and everyone alleging that he did these things is very credible, sooooooo he might fool some people but I don't think the majority of people are going to buy it.

 

Isn't R Kelly literally on tape with an underage girl? Is that tape just a rumor too, Mr. Kelly? smh

 

Idk how true this is but I just saw a news article that he’s apparently claiming the parents sold the girls to him?? Like....THATS the route you go?!

 

He either outright said that or at least suggested it because Michael Avenatti shared a statement today from the parents of one of the girls denying that they sold her to him.

But yeah the absurdity of trying to excuse child rape by invoking slavery is clearly lost on him.

 

They couldn't prove it was him (I think the defense was it was a relative, maybe his brother) and the victim refused to testify.

 

Right. Like as if everything would be okay even if that were true.

 

Re: Kelly's acquittal, I just always think back to the Chappelle sketch. "For all we know, that piss was digital."

 

I mean he literally married Aaliyah while she was underage and groomed her into releasing an album called age is just a number. Like...that’s the most giant red flag towards a child predator I’ve ever seen.

 

There's also proof she had restraining orders out on him after the marriage because he was abusive. I mean, good lord.

 

That's less a red flag and more a "elevator from The Shining" amount of red.

 

Might as well pull all of Family Guy

 

Hey everyone else see how easy that was

 

Seeing John Mulaney’s face in this thread gave me a heart attack

 

Haha sorry, no he's pure

 

Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman among 40 people charged in college exam cheating plot

 

This is wild. Rich people, man

 

I honestly kinda assumed already that famous people just bought their kids’ way into college lol

 

I imagine smarter rich people just make big legal donations to give their kids special consideration
